ViewSonic VX2467-MHD 24 Inch 1080p Gaming Monitor with 75Hz, 1ms, Ultra-Thin Bezels, FreeSync, Eye Care, HDMI, VGA, and DP

Ive used dual monitors for quite some time at home. I used to use ViewSonic but switched to Samsung & LG maybe 7-8 years ago. My present (not cheap) LG has a somewhat washed out appearance. This is the second time in a row that a Samsung monitor hasnt lasted 40 months after purchase. For a while now, Ive only been buying Samsung as far as our TVs (32 and 46 presently) and Smartphones (2 x S3s and one S4). At the price of this ViewSonic with its 3 year warranty my heart (and wallet) will not be broken if they die on the 39th month, as was the case with my last 2 Samsung monitors. I find the picture about the same for everyday use at about $100 less than I was paying for my other higher end monitors. I do wish it had more pre-set options but at $150, still well worth it for a very acceptable picture. No, Im not doing graphic design or intense digital photography. Bottom Line - For this price I would/will buy again. If I had the desktop space, Id buy another to play music DVDs while I work.

I had an early ViewSonic 24 LED monitor that had lived past its prime, so getting another ViewSonic was a no brainer as a replacement. I dont use it for gaming, but use it for streaming and normal Internet use. It came well packaged, with the plastic portions protected with plastic tape that is easy to remove. Took me all of about 5 minutes to screw on the base plate, plug in the HDMI and insert the audio speakers into the microphone port. That puts the sound through the external speakers. The monitor plugs directly into my outlet strip, not needing a transformer. Cables are provided if one does not utilize a HDMI connection. HDMI cable is not provided. I utilize the Amazon brand cable.

I use these in combination with a docking station to set up generic 3 monitor work stations. So far I have set up at least 20 work stations. Meaning I have purchased and installed 60 of these monitors. Not one problem with any of them. For mixed office use they work great.

I recently started downsizing from a Mac Pro to a Mac Mini and available ports are a concern so my 27 Apple Cinema Display had to go. With so many models and so many gripes, the selection seemed to be a no-win headache. This actually fit the criteria - hdmi, integrated speakers, size, IPS or near, relatively inexpensive, and decent response rate. Its hard to make comparisons with the Cinema display but I thought I wanted IPS. The vertical viewing angle on this seemed to be similar to an IPS screen. The horizontal viewing angle is smaller and dims when you are past the +/-45 degrees of center. Its not much of an issue as a computer monitor. The glow of the backlight at the bottom is noticeable but not much. I seem to have lucked out with no dead pixels that I can see. I wasnt expecting much of the speakers other than that they work. The hdmi and integrated speakers make for a tidy setup. The monitor can be tilted but the best adjustment is the stack of books or boxes to bring the monitor to the right height. I had bought a similar model for my brother and had the hardest time adjusting the contrast and brightness for him until I realized the contrast and brightness were swapped. Maybe its a tomato/tomatoe type thing but contrast actually controls the brightness of the display and this model is no different. As I started adjusting the display for the settings that tomcat9 listed, I remembered the quirk about the contrast and brightness. I finally settled on contrast of 60 and brightness of 100. It still wasnt quite right so I pulled up the color profile in the Mac Mini and it had selected HD-709A. I tried the calibration and the biggest difference came with the gamma adjustment to 2.2. Everything seems to be good now. I havent tried out the response rate yet but I think it will live up to its billing. It is a light display but at this price, I dont think you should expect an aluminum case.

Ive owned ViewSonic monitors before and have always liked the quality. I purchased this particular monitor for use on my workbench due to its variety of inputs. Most any PC that I work on will connect to this monitor without adapters. The enclosed speakers eliminate the need for separate external speakers. I only wish the speakers were a little higher watt.

Perfect for my desk top and wall mount fit perfect

I primarily use this product for gaming on my PC and occasionally Xbox. Overall the monitor is perfect for a desktop setup considering the size. I have not had any problems with the monitor at all, the customization options are simple and effective as well as the portability just in case you do need to move it. I fell in love with this monitor and have already bought three of them for my personal setup at home. I recommend this product to anyone trying to get a nice monitor for an affordable price. Some things you may want to look out for are the sound quality and the material quality. The volume of the monitor does not go very high and doesnt sound the best so I would recommend a speaker along with it. The quality of the back panel is strong but is only hard plastic so it is vulnerable to some damage in that respect. Other than that I have no other problems with the monitor and I am very pleased with my purchase.

If you need a inexpensive basic monitor this is it. However if you want to use this to connect to multiple sources stay far away. This monitor has no ability to stay on 1 input regardless of if that input is connected. It will auto-switch to an input with a signal. This is great if you only have 1 device and having it quickly select that input for use without manually selecting that input. However if you are using the monitor for setting up or troubleshooting a second system it is a nightmare. As soon as the computer reboots it will reconnect to the other input that has a connection. There is no setting to disable the auto switch. Makes it really hard to troubleshoot a graphics card or system issue. This monitor gets 2 stars for making me take the time to write a review to highlight this feature and what a pain in the A it is. Otherwise it is a 4-5 star product for a general use monitor.

To put this review into perspective, I purchased this monitor to replace a 6 year old HP LP2065 20 LCD monitor which is not HDCP compliant. On installing this monitor, I noted that the image was bright and lacking in contrast. Brightness and contrast are adjustable in the manual mode in the menu. Adjustments made the image better, but was still lacking in black level performance. Fine text was definitely softer than that on the HP monitor. When scrolling text, a yellow smear was visible trailing the text. This effect was mostly eliminated when switching to the Game mode. However, switching to this mode sets the brightness and contrast to fixed values. They are no longer manually adjustable. I had attended a wedding and took pictures with my digital camera. I processed the raw files and adjusted them the best I could based on the monitors image. I had trouble getting them to look right. The color accuracy of this monitor is definitely sub-par. When I printed some of these pictures, they were dark and dull looking, not at all how they looked on the screen. I put back the old HP monitor and looked at the processed images. They were dark and dull on the screen, exactly how they printed. I reprocessed the raw files and now have good looking prints. At this point, I packed up the monitor for return. It cost me just under $15 to ship it back. Lesson learned. Here is a summary: Pros HDCP compliant Inexpensive Light weight Bright image No hot or dead pixels Good horizontal viewing angle Comes with a complete set of cables Cons No height adjustment Mediocre black level Poor vertical viewing angle Inaccurate colors Scroll smear Very limited image adjustments Unsuitable for photographic image processing Soft fine text This monitor would be suitable for non image critical applications or gaming where its fast response and bright image would be a plus. As for me, Ill be shopping for something better.

I purchased this as the display component to a new PC build I was working on, which ended up never coming to fruition, and as such, I returned it. However, I still have some things to say. When I was looking for a solid, affordable 1080p monitor, this model immediately caught my eye, namely for its relatively high average rating and its above par response time (2ms vs the standard 5). I decided to buy it after reading several strongly positive reviews, praising its brightness, color reproduction accuracy as well as its viewing angles, the descriptions of which made this display seem a little too good to be true. As it turns out, I was mostly right. It came very well packaged, and with a plethora of cables to boot (DVI, VGA, and aux), which gave me a great first impression. As I set it up (which was a very straightforward process), I immediately noticed that the plastic bezel styling appeared somewhat gaudy and notably cheap, which was the first aspect of many in this item to disappoint. I decided I could live with this, so long as the quality of the screen justified it. Sadly. I cannot say that it did. After hooking it up to my machine via DVI, I was instantly let down by the viewing angles, which were so bad that any conceivable position I could take in front of the panel left one or more sizable portions of the screen incongruently colored and lit. I tried the other cable configurations, with the same result across all - utter mediocrity. The brightness was also a fairly large let-down, being decent at best in certain color modes, to downright pitiful in others (sRGB). This was not well complemented by the surprisingly acceptable response time, which, at 2ms, left no noticeable artifact ghosting on screen, and made for a more or less smooth feeling PC usage experience. Oddly, the speakers were surprisingly decent, with pretty nice volume levels and above average tonal range, although their positioning on the rear of the monitor made the sound seem rather distant at times. Verdict: For the price, I would certainly recommend looking for something else. There are much better options available on Amazon, for the same amount, give or take $20. Not the worst display in the world, but not one I would ever want to keep.
